YOUNG BLACK MAN

[Intro: Malcolm X]
No matter how many bills pass
Black people in that country, where I'm from, still our lives
Are not worth two cents, and the government has shown
It's inability, or either it's unwillingness to do whatever
Is necessary to protect life and property where the black
American is concerned

[Hook]
Young black man chasing dreams, huh?
Young black man gettin' beat, huh?
Young black man want the c.r.e.a.m, huh?
Young black man just want to be a king, huh?
Young black man pay his bills, huh?
Young black man wanna feel, huh?
Young black man on a drill, huh?
He on a drill but everybody out to kill him, huh?

[Verse 1]
Everybody out to murder us they violent
Now the black mans home is where the cryin' is
God damn it's a shame that they lying man (lying)
Saying all we do is murder, its a giant sin (boss)
History tried to tell me that I'm cotton bound
And they think I'm going back, shut your rotten mouth
All these people they support us on their common couch
Won't humanity? let's go and we can walk it out
Living for the need of the love and peace
Mythically, people think not doing shit gon' make it breed
But what the fuck gon' happen when we sit and see
Watching every one of my brothers bleed including me
We already get the lower liquin' gettin' jobs
And we still get treated brutally by fucking cops
Made a song called 12, tryna make it stop
Feels like 12 centuries we've been robbed

[Hook]

(Nah but these people still aren't getting in my nigga)

[Verse 2]
Everybody saying that we ghetto, nigga
Yeah the puppets fed you that, it's Geppetto, nigga
Had my brothers dying thinking I'll be mellow, nigga
You shoutin' all lies, tell that to your fellow nigga
That you always with, 'cause all don't like black
You think you saying peace, but you saying take us back
To Africa, we just tryna say that we matter, bruh
You keep thinking we is anti-white that's not our character
Always talking 'bout we make you guilty
But you put yourself inside that circle, made you filthy
Like damn you need an [?], boot out that mindset
'Cause you don't get it or you ain't seen it
We ain't honest? Please..
Struggle that we get is overlooked
Saying "we ain't slaves no more", boy take a look
Yeah we still gettin' killed, gettin' hung, gettin' cheated
And your pride in the fake is making sure you won't believe it
